I’m looking at David bailey to get inspiration for magazine spread and short 30 second fashion film. Looking at the humanity issue that he shot of all of his high profile friends. My favourite image is off kate moss on the front page as it’s a strong image but where it’s been shot in film gives the images a soft affect but still doesn’t take away from the image. When it came to shoot my images I was using a beauty lighting set up and then for the editing I added a more grainy feel to my images. So that I could achieve strong enough images but also have a soft affect about them. I also like the fact in his fashion film for Valentino there was a lot of movement and so it wasn’t just a normal fashion film where the models , model the clothes.
I looked at Irving penn for inspiration for styling and what kind of images I would like to produce as the idea behind my work is to show the different ways you can wear a Hermes scarf. Also looked at his images for inspiration for the way he lights the images so that he create shadows when the lights have been placed one side of the model and so it create a soft shadow on the models face and also on the garments but at the same time doesn’t take away from the garment itself.
